Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recaps with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Katie and Tony. This week we are back to recap all the important parts of the first 3 episodes of MTV's The Challenge All Stars 5: Rivals. We are back this season with a whole new recap format and we hope this leaves more room for you, as the listener, to get involved with our recaps and social media content. We are also hoping that changing up our format will bring a freshness to your ears and our minds. Kicking things off we catch up for about 5 minutes and then Rick explains our new format, how it's going to work and how you (the listener) can get involved! We start the recap around 8 minutes in with our first segment where we debate the best and worth Rival pairings and how we are feeling about co-ed teams playing against non-co-ed teams. Around 26 minutes we move into Segment 2 and discuss the opening daily challenge on episode 1 and whether or not it was a good way to open a Rivals themed season. For segment 3 we move into episode 2 and discuss the daily challenge including which teams shocked us the most, whether or not this is the worst daily in history and should there be guaranteed incentive to come in first place mixed with a penalty of some sort for coming in last? From there we move on to segment 4 where we discuss the first eliminaton of the season with Adam and Steve VS Beth and Jonna in a recreated elimination we first saw Bananas and Theo compete in on The Challenge 40, with minor adjustments. Then we move into the Sylvia VS Kellyanne fight that closed out episode 2 and discuss who was in the wrong (if anyone), our thoughts on the dogs vs kids discussion and we also spill some tea from Frank's IG Live right after episode 3. Finally for our last few segments, we break down episode 3 starting with the daily challenge and whether or not the obstacle course was difficult enough, how we felt about the second elimination of the season with Adam and Steve taking out Sylvia and Kellyanne in a strength based elimination and of course, we had to debate the Ashley Mitchell VS Aneesa argument that was given to us at the end of episode 3 including how we think Aneesa would have handled the situation if the roles were reversed. We finally close out the show with our MVP (this might be the first time in history that we've all agreed on an MVP), overall season grade thus far and last minute thoughts. All this and more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast The Challenge All Stars 5: Rivals - EP1-3 Roundtable Recap.
